Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining, by a transport, that a characteristic associated with an occupant is at a level below a threshold, performing, by the transport, an energy-saving action to reduce the characteristic level, and responsive to the characteristic level rising above the level but being below the threshold, performing, by the transport, an energy-usage action to reduce the characteristic level, and the energy-saving action is performed while the energy-usage action is performed.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- determining, by a transport, that a characteristic associated with an occupant is at a level below a threshold;
- performing, by the transport, an energy-saving action to reduce the characteristic level;
- and
- responsive to the characteristic level rising above the level but being below the threshold, performing, by the transport, an energy-usage action to reduce the characteristic level;
- and
- wherein the energy-saving action is performed while the energy-usage action is performed.
A transport, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- determine that a characteristic associated with an occupant is at a level below a threshold;
- perform an energy-saving action to reduce the characteristic level;
- and
- responsive to a rise of the characteristic level above the level but being below the threshold, perform an energy-usage action to reduce the characteristic level;
- and
- wherein the energy-saving action is performed while the energy-usage action is performed.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:
- determining, by a transport, that a characteristic associated with an occupant is at a level below a threshold;
- performing, by the transport, an energy-saving action to reduce the characteristic level;
- and
- responsive to the characteristic level rising above the level but being below the threshold, performing, by the transport, an energy-usage action to reduce the characteristic level;
- and
- wherein the energy-saving action is performed while the energy-usage action is performed.
